Zhan Shen: It’s Just a Sacrifice, How Can I Become a Villain?

275: Born a holy bodyThe old man named Chen Lu spoke in a hoarse voice, “You’ve worked hard at Baili Family all these years.”

Uncle Chen’s face finally showed some expression, and a hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes, “For the great Cthulhu, everything is worth it.”

“Have all traces at Baili Manor been cleaned up?” Chen Lu asked.

“They’ve been cleaned up, and I also gathered intelligence on the Great Xia Gods.”

Uncle Chen told Chen Lu everything he had seen and heard at Baili Manor.

A hint of excitement appeared on Chen Lu’s aged face.

“So that’s how it is. It seems the Great Xia Gods are just putting on a brave front now.”

Chen Lu let out a strange laugh, and one of his eyes began to swell.

It grew so large that his eye socket could no longer contain it. With a pop, the eyeball flew out of his socket like a bomb, connected by scarlet tentacles.

The eyeball hung there, swaying back and forth in the air.

Chen Lu calmed himself down and pushed the eyeball back into place.

“It seems the time for our action has come.”

...

Anta County, Ghost Country of the End.

Song Zhong stood by the Huasheng Pool, looking at Shen Qingzhu, who was unconscious in the Huasheng Pool, lost in thought.

After returning, Song Zhong immediately had Shen Tu and Yu Lei increase the rate at which the Huasheng Pool extracted Divine Power.

However, this speed was still too strong for Shen Qingzhu’s demigod body.

He only lasted twenty minutes in the Huasheng Pool before falling unconscious.

It was not an easy task to create a true Wind God substitute.

Just then, footsteps sounded from outside the Huasheng Pool.

“Song Zhong, it seems you’ve run into trouble!”

As the voice sounded, a chubby figure walked in.

This figure was none other than Pang Pang, who was also the current Leader of the Heaven-Reaching Sect.

“My luck has always been good. Whenever I encounter trouble, someone always appears to solve the problem.” Song Zhong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Pang Pang finally arrive.

“This place you built is pretty good. To be honest, I’m a bit tempted.” Pang Pang looked around, especially at the Huasheng Pool, lingering for a few more glances.

“Then your taste is quite good.” Song Zhong pointed to Shen Qingzhu in the pool, “I called you over this time because I want to ask for your help. Use the [Jade Cushion] to amplify Shen Qingzhu’s body and accelerate his absorption of the Wind Law.”

The [Jade Cushion] is one of Pang Pang’s Magic Treasures. Its function is to amplify everything, provided the user can withstand the burden brought by the amplification.

“Are you… trying to create a god?” Pang Pang showed a puzzled expression.

“Something like that. I captured the Wind God of Sun City, so I should return one to them, right? As the saying goes, ‘good to borrow, good to return, then borrowing again is not difficult,’ right?”

“This…” Pang Pang immediately understood Song Zhong’s meaning. He smiled and said, “I didn’t expect your heart to be quite dirty.”

“If you can’t praise people, you don’t have to.” Song Zhong felt very wronged, as if he had been slandered out of nowhere.

“Alright, I can help you, but you also have to promise me one thing.” A smile appeared in Pang Pang’s eyes.

“Speak!” Song Zhong did not refuse.

“I’ve chosen a location for the Ancestral Master of the Heaven-Reaching Sect, but if only my portrait is hung inside, it would be too monotonous. So I want to hang your portrait there too.”

???

Several question marks popped up over Song Zhong’s head, “Hang my portrait there?

Doesn’t that mean I’ll also become the Ancestral Master who founded the Heaven-Reaching Sect?”

Pang Pang nodded, “That’s exactly what it means.”

Song Zhong was a bit speechless, “For no reason, why would you hang me up?”

“Haha, isn’t this to strengthen the communication between you and me?” Pang Pang’s eyes sparkled. It was clear that this guy wasn’t telling the truth.

“Pulling me in? Aren’t you afraid I’ll poke a hole in your plans?” Song Zhong asked.

“No, I trust the Time God’s judgment.”

Song Zhong carefully recalled his experiences after his Transmigration to the God-Slaying World.

It seemed he hadn’t done many serious things, but he had been a church leader quite a bit.

From ascending the throne of the Ancient God Church to founding the New Ancient God Church, and now joining the Heaven-Reaching Sect, these few things combined made Song Zhong wonder if he was an Innate Divine Trickster Saint Body?

“Since you’re not afraid, then it’s up to you.” Song Zhong didn’t think much of it and casually agreed.

“Alright!”

Seeing that Song Zhong had agreed to his request, Pang Pang didn’t waste any more time and took out the [Jade Cushion].

Pang Pang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the [Jade Cushion].

Immediately, a emerald green light slowly emanated from the [Jade Cushion].

Under Pang Pang’s control, the light enveloped Shen Qingzhu.

Shen Qingzhu’s nostrils trembled slightly, instinctively feeling a sense of comfort flowing from his skin into his body.

Inside the Huasheng Pool, the flow rate of the Wind Law noticeably accelerated.

It really works. Song Zhong was relieved to see that the [Jade Cushion] was indeed effective.

“The rest of the time is up to you.”

After lightly dropping a sentence to Pang Pang, Song Zhong left the Huasheng Pool with Shen Tu and Yu Lei and returned to the Ghost Country’s capital.

This capital city was refined on the foundation of Fengdu, and right in the center of the capital, the [Great Compassion and Great Grief Rescue Banner] stood tall.

Countless golden Power Of Faith revolved continuously around the [Salvation Banner], and countless golden rays of light illuminated the entire Ghost Country, as if it were daytime.

Feeling the surging Divine Power within him, Song Zhong said, “According to the Realm strength divisions of this world, I should now be at the level of a Sub-God, right?”

“Initially mastering the Law, transforming Mental Energy into Divine Power, and stepping into the threshold of the God Realm.

By this standard, you are indeed only at the Sub-God Realm.” Shen Tu explained.

“Then there’s no sign of Dao Transformation on me? Is it because I’m an outsider?”

“That’s right, Dao Transformation is just a rule this world uses to suppress Mortals. You are not a native of this world, so you are not restricted by this rule. However…” Shen Tu explained halfway and then stopped.

“However what?” Song Zhong asked.

“But if you want to Breakthrough to the Ascension Realm, this body of yours won’t be able to bear it.”

“Ascension?” Song Zhong looked up at the sky, “So, I still have to find a way to strengthen my body, right?”

Shen Tu nodded, “As for the answer to strengthening, it lies within Chi You’s bronze coffin.”

“Then there’s no rush. I’ll stabilize my own Realm first.”

Currently, Song Zhong had initially mastered the Law of Faith. As long as faith continued, his Divine Power would not dry up.

Compared to other Laws, the Law of Faith, while not particularly special, focuses on sheer quantity, relying on an endless supply of Divine Power to wear down opponents.

It can be said to be simple and unadorned, with no special mechanics, just raw numbers.

Moreover, for Song Zhong, who possessed the System and the [Salvation Banner], the Law of Faith and him were simply a perfect match.
